Around the early nineties? Or have I imagined it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E17cvzqx4wM (Ignore the gay video....)
Eighties. The good old days. Pre-East Stand. The smell of pipe smoke in the West Stand. No Metro-Dome. Paul Futcher, Steve Agnew, Steve Cooper, David Currie... Terrible entrance music. lol
Aye was a mascot during the time and i had to run out to the f*cker... looking back that was funny!!!

Lyons Cakes That was a decent kit. Stylish for its era with and one of only two sponsors we've ever had that was truly a nationally recognised brand (VK being the other). The sponsor on the infamous stars kit was Shaw Carpets.
You sure? l was going to say Shaw Carpets but that was.. the blue kit away one where Saville scored the 89th minute winner at Bramall Lane in, was that the same year?
I'm pretty sure (but not certain) That Shaw Carpets sponsored us for two seasons. The "stars" strip, however I am certain of: [img=http://nickspage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/coops.JPG]
RE: Eighties. Remember standing on the Ponty with this playing in the background http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIVX1_J_87s. May have been late seventies, can;t remember.
